The original settlers of Astrinea and the first empire to exist in the known world, the Foundation have been around for millennia. Governed by a king and his Royal Court, the Foundation is a very conservative, regal nation with an enormous dominion and a powerful influence over almost everything in existence today. However, its technology is highly outdated, for those within the Foundation choose to practise the ancient arts of summoning and elements, and rely heavily on their deities in most aspects of life. Furthermore, the Foundation are highly exclusive and their dislike of other factions borders xenophobia.
